Great Day Out

Yesterday, we spent the day exhibiting our group layout ‘Grub Lane’ at the GOG ‘get together’ at Bury St Edmunds. This is a great way to talk all things O Gauge in very pleasant surroundings at the BSE Sugar Beet Factory Social Club.

Although me and the wife were on our own as other group members were attending conflicting Railway events, we were helped by our friend Mike Boakes of the Norfolk Mardellers, thanks Mike for giving me the chance to meet other friends and have a good look around, I would also like to thank Dave Eccles, Norfolk Mardellers, Kloggies and all other organisers for a great day out.

I believe that there was a record attendance and I have to say that the quality of the Layouts and Traders was the best so far. Again, a big well done to the organisers for brilliant day.

Here are a few photographs taken by my wife of ‘Grub Lane’, running BR (S) instead of the usual Industrials. The new lighting rig has certainly helped her get some great shots. I have to say, weathered stock on a weathered layout is the best way to recreate realistic scenes.
